00:13:58,717 --> 00:14:00,468
-to be on a New Year's Eve show?
-Yep.

304
00:14:00,552 --> 00:14:02,095
<i>Hannah and Paige Drop the Ball.</i>

305
00:14:02,178 --> 00:14:04,055
-And that's good?
-[Josh] Oh, my God, it's the best one.

306
00:14:04,139 --> 00:14:07,267
Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo
are so funny, so current.

307
00:14:07,350 --> 00:14:10,020
You wanna be relevant,
this is the show to be on.

308
00:14:10,103 --> 00:14:13,023
Yeah, and apparently,
they asked for you, specifically.

309
00:14:13,106 --> 00:14:15,400
No one's ever asked
for me specifically.

310
00:14:15,483 --> 00:14:16,526
Incredible.

311
00:14:16,610 --> 00:14:19,696
I knew you would figure
this out for me, Paula.

312
00:14:20,697 --> 00:14:22,407
-Oh, um...
-[sighs]

313
00:14:22,490 --> 00:14:24,993
-[clicking tongue] It was--
-It was all Paula, Wes.

314
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,121
Thank you.

315
00:14:29,372 --> 00:14:31,625
Now, excuse me.
Someone needs to get their hair system

316
00:14:31,708 --> 00:14:33,585
adjusted for their big night.

317
00:14:34,294 --> 00:14:35,295
[Wes chuckles]

318
00:14:36,463 --> 00:14:40,550
I don't think I've ever seen him
this happy, so...

319
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,345
Thank you, Josh.

320
00:14:43,428 --> 00:14:46,389
No, Paula. Thank you.

321
00:14:46,473 --> 00:14:48,350
I mean... [chuckles]
I don't know where to--

322
00:14:48,433 --> 00:14:51,394
I sense you winding up to something,
so shut up,

323
00:14:51,478 --> 00:14:55,273
and get your puffer out of storage,
we're going to Times Square tonight.

324
00:14:55,357 --> 00:14:58,109
Alright, this deal
is extremely competitive.

325
00:14:58,193 --> 00:14:59,486
So, let's knock it out the park.

326
00:14:59,569 --> 00:15:02,155
And I need everyone to step it up
and get on my level,

327
00:15:02,238 --> 00:15:04,199
so we can get all of you
one of these.

328
00:15:05,909 --> 00:15:07,994
[Jocelyn] Thank you.

329
00:15:08,078 --> 00:15:10,413
Hey, meeting's over.
Get out.

330
00:15:11,498 --> 00:15:12,999
[sniffling]

331
00:15:13,083 --> 00:15:14,793
[sighs]
It wasn't unhinged.

332
00:15:14,876 --> 00:15:18,463
-What?
-When you said AJ was acting unhinged,

333
00:15:18,546 --> 00:15:20,256
I don't think she was being unhinged.

334
00:15:20,340 --> 00:15:23,259
Actually, I think she was reacting
pretty normal

335
00:15:23,343 --> 00:15:26,471
for someone whose boss
dated them and then dumped them.

336
00:15:26,554 --> 00:15:28,598
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

337
00:15:28,682 --> 00:15:30,016
Keep your voice down.
Are you crazy?

338
00:15:30,100 --> 00:15:32,560
Yeah, she thought
she was dating you, man.

339
00:15:32,644 --> 00:15:35,772
Meanwhile, your beautiful ass is bringing
your model girlfriend on vacation.

340
00:15:35,855 --> 00:15:38,191
-I'm not talking about this here.
-Yeah, you are.

341
00:15:38,274 --> 00:15:40,360
Because what<i> you </i>did
was unhinged.

342
00:15:40,443 --> 00:15:42,612
AJ is amazing, and you're just--

343
00:15:42,696 --> 00:15:44,906
you are just a huge jerk.

344
00:15:44,990 --> 00:15:46,908
Enough!
This isn't about AJ.

345
00:15:46,992 --> 00:15:49,995
You're just mad because she picked me
over you, you cuck!

346
00:15:52,664 --> 00:15:54,499
Hey! Davis! Get off! Get...

347
00:15:54,582 --> 00:15:56,835
-[Davis grunting]
-Ah! Hey, what are you doing?

348
00:15:56,918 --> 00:15:58,586
[Davis] I'm fighting you!

349
00:15:58,670 --> 00:15:59,754
-Stop it!
-I can't!

350
00:15:59,838 --> 00:16:01,756
Ah! [groaning]

351
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,258
That fucking hurt!

352
00:16:03,341 --> 00:16:05,135
-Well, stop fighting me, you idiot!
-Never!

353
00:16:05,218 --> 00:16:07,512
-Eat candy canes, asshole!
-Hey, hey!

354
00:16:07,595 --> 00:16:09,347
-Hey!
-[glass shattering]

355
00:16:09,431 --> 00:16:11,224
Hey, now, you're pissing me off!
No!

356
00:16:11,307 --> 00:16:13,393
-[Davis grunting]
-[Jocelyn] Bill!

357
00:16:13,476 --> 00:16:14,769
-Stop it!
-No! I'm winning!

358
00:16:16,021 --> 00:16:18,732
-Hey, I told you to stop!
-Bill, Bill! Enough! Enough!

359
00:16:18,815 --> 00:16:20,525
Up, up.
On your feet.

360
00:16:20,608 --> 00:16:22,485
-Come on.
-[Davis grunting]

361
00:16:22,569 --> 00:16:24,029
-You okay?
-[Davis] Yeah.

362
00:16:24,112 --> 00:16:27,615
Okay.
Well, now's a good time to tell you

363
00:16:27,699 --> 00:16:29,951
that I've requested a transfer
to a different department.

364
00:16:30,035 --> 00:16:32,412
You're not transferring anywhere.
You're fired.

365
00:16:33,288 --> 00:16:34,622
Even better.

366
00:16:37,417 --> 00:16:38,668
Get out.

367
00:16:42,464 --> 00:16:44,924
Thanks for bailing me
out of subway jail.

368
00:16:45,008 --> 00:16:48,303
Thank you for buying me hot chocolate,
and thank you for my cheesy potatoes.

369
00:16:48,386 --> 00:16:50,096
What the hell is going on with you?

370
00:16:50,180 --> 00:16:52,390
I mean, you're cool,
but even you're not cool enough

371
00:16:52,474 --> 00:16:54,726
to get away with graffiti in New York.

372
00:16:54,809 --> 00:16:56,936
Nothing's wrong with me.
I'm perfect.

373
00:16:57,020 --> 00:16:58,855
Stupid fucking men are ruining my life.

374
00:16:58,938 --> 00:17:00,607
-Mm.
-Austin screwed me over,

375
00:17:00,690 --> 00:17:02,484
and then Kel put me
in the poorhouse.

376
00:17:02,567 --> 00:17:04,652
Abby, I love you.

377
00:17:04,736 --> 00:17:07,572
But this isn't Kel's fault.
Like, at all.

378
00:17:07,655 --> 00:17:10,283
-[scoffs]
-I'm sorry, but you put your career

379
00:17:10,366 --> 00:17:14,788
in the hands of a man
who plays the didgeridoo unironically.

380
00:17:15,914 --> 00:17:18,333
So, what I'm hearing
is it's all Austin's fault.

381
00:17:21,169 --> 00:17:22,879
I know. I know.

382
00:17:22,962 --> 00:17:24,798
-Mm-hmm.
-It is my fault.

383
00:17:24,881 --> 00:17:27,634
All of it.
And I made you leave work.

384
00:17:27,717 --> 00:17:29,844
Fuck! Your one true love.

385
00:17:29,928 --> 00:17:31,721
It's fine. I took PTO.

386
00:17:31,805 --> 00:17:34,307
Nice, meanwhile,
I'm taking the last shift at work,

387
00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:38,895
and I have to apologize
to someone I successfully gaslit.

388
00:17:38,978 --> 00:17:40,480
So, this is Happy New Year.

389
00:17:40,563 --> 00:17:42,148
I guess so!

390
00:17:42,232 --> 00:17:44,734
But I will be thinking of you at midnight
when I put fleece socks

391
00:17:44,818 --> 00:17:46,236
-on a mannequin.
-Okay, next year...

392
00:17:46,319 --> 00:17:48,238
-Mm?
-...let's promise to be happier,

393
00:17:48,321 --> 00:17:51,407
hotter, and vacationing in Miami.

394
00:17:51,491 --> 00:17:54,619
Don't talk dirty to me, AJ Pascarelli.
You know how I feel about Miami.

395
00:17:54,702 --> 00:17:57,122
-Mm.
-Happy New Year.

396
00:17:57,205 --> 00:17:59,874
-I love you.
-[both laughing]

397
00:18:01,167 --> 00:18:02,752
[knocking]

398
00:18:04,754 --> 00:18:08,133
Oh, looking for someone else
to yell at, Abby?

399
00:18:08,216 --> 00:18:10,176
Hey. Is Kel here?

400
00:18:10,260 --> 00:18:12,720
No, you don't get
to talk to Kel, okay?

401
00:18:12,804 --> 00:18:14,347
You're rude to Kel,
you're rude to me.

402
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:18,726
-Hey, Abby, what's up?
-Yes, Abby. What is up?

403
00:18:18,810 --> 00:18:21,229
Thanks, Josh. You can go.

404
00:18:21,312 --> 00:18:23,273
Okay, but if you need me,
I'll be right here,

405
00:18:23,356 --> 00:18:25,150
activating my hand warmers for tonight.

406
00:18:25,233 --> 00:18:27,193
Hey, I don't have much time.

407
00:18:27,277 --> 00:18:29,279
-Uh, call for my play is soon.
-Oh.

408
00:18:30,446 --> 00:18:33,783
I just wanted to apologize
for the other night.

409
00:18:33,867 --> 00:18:35,160
I had no right to yell at you--

410
00:18:35,243 --> 00:18:36,744
-[Josh] Oh, shit!
-What?

411
00:18:36,828 --> 00:18:38,830
The packet broke
when I threw it at the wall,

412
00:18:38,913 --> 00:18:40,832
and there's, like,
hand warmer stuff everywhere.

413
00:18:40,915 --> 00:18:43,084
Oh, God, I hope
this stuff isn't toxic.

414
00:18:44,586 --> 00:18:46,129
-Anyway--
-We're good.

415
00:18:47,046 --> 00:18:48,047
But thank you.

416
00:18:49,757 --> 00:18:51,593
Okay. Uh, well...

417
00:18:52,719 --> 00:18:54,220
uh, break a leg tonight.

418
00:18:54,304 --> 00:18:56,681
-That's so exciting.
-Yeah, yeah.

419
00:18:56,764 --> 00:19:00,101
Uh, there's actually a cast party after,
if you're free.

420
00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:02,937
Wait, wait, wait.
You said we couldn't go to that.

421
00:19:03,021 --> 00:19:05,315
I said <i>you </i>couldn't go to that.

422
00:19:05,398 --> 00:19:08,109
It's New York, you know lists don't apply
to people who look like Abby.

423
00:19:08,193 --> 00:19:09,986
Hm?
People that look like me?

424
00:19:10,069 --> 00:19:12,197
N... [chuckles]
No, no, you know what I mean.

425
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,240
Damn, Kel.
I was just out here

426
00:19:14,324 --> 00:19:16,242
trying to apologize, not get hit on.

427
00:19:16,326 --> 00:19:17,535
[laughing]

428
00:19:19,495 --> 00:19:21,247
-Bye.
-Bye, Kel.

429
00:19:22,624 --> 00:19:25,835
I hate how I'm dressed.
I should have worn some sparkles.

430
00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:27,503
I think you look handsome, sir.

431
00:19:27,587 --> 00:19:30,256
Very distinguished,
like a thin Santa Claus.

432
00:19:30,340 --> 00:19:33,426
Oh, my God, sir,
it is such an honor to meet you.

433
00:19:33,509 --> 00:19:35,595
Truly.
Thank you for being here.

434
00:19:35,678 --> 00:19:37,472
God damn it.
They think I'm Steve Martin.

435
00:19:37,555 --> 00:19:39,807
-Let's go.
-No, Wes, we know it's you.

436
00:19:39,891 --> 00:19:43,144
We're so excited to have you on our show.
We're just huge fans.

437
00:19:43,228 --> 00:19:44,646
Oh, my God.

438
00:19:44,729 --> 00:19:46,397
I'm Josh, by the way.

439
00:19:46,481 --> 00:19:48,900
Big fan of your podcast.
I'm a giggler.

440
00:19:48,983 --> 00:19:51,236
They don't have time
to shake your mittens, Josh.

441
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:52,904
Oh, I don't mind.
Give me that mitten. [giggles]

442
00:19:52,987 --> 00:19:55,573
Anyways, we can't wait
to see you out there, Wes.

443
00:19:55,657 --> 00:19:58,117
You're actually doing our favorite bit,
Hot Take Yearbook.

444
00:19:58,993 --> 00:20:01,496
Oh, wow.
We just thought you'd want Wes on

445
00:20:01,579 --> 00:20:03,581
to, you know,
talk about current events,

446
00:20:03,665 --> 00:20:06,209
or maybe ring a big decorative bell.

447
00:20:06,292 --> 00:20:07,669
You know, shit like that.

448
00:20:07,752 --> 00:20:10,421
No, that would be
really boring television.

449
00:20:10,505 --> 00:20:12,799
But don't worry,
it's totally effortless.

450
00:20:12,882 --> 00:20:16,636
Just give your honest opinions
on all the pop culture trends of the year.

451
00:20:16,719 --> 00:20:18,513
[Hannah] Yeah, we'll cover <i>Traitors,</i>
Addison Rae,

452
00:20:18,596 --> 00:20:21,307
housewives, Cole Escola,
things like that.

453
00:20:21,391 --> 00:20:22,517
See you out there.

454
00:20:23,643 --> 00:20:25,937
W-What is a Cole Escola?

Okay, 'cause there's this girl
on the show,

-No, seriously, you look amazing.
-Okay.

Yeah, you should totally
go talk to the girl.

635
00:28:10,025 --> 00:28:11,986
Okay, uh, I'll be right back.
I just need to make sure
